How to Make Perfect Homemade Hummus (Vegan)

Report

For the longest time, a Perfect Homemade Hummus recipe has eluded me…try as I might, I just haven’t been able to get the recipe tasting just right, and it has never been quite smooth enough – but not any longer. I have finally discovered the secret to the perfect homemade hummus – and it’s waaay better than the hummus you get in the shops! (Serves 4-8, depending on how you are using it.)

Instructions

Place the drained chickpeas, 75ml chickpea water, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and olive oil in a high speed blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes (I use the fruit and veg setting on my Froothie, which takes 1 minute 30 seconds).
Put on a plate or in a shallow bowl and decorate with the reserved chickpeas, paprika and fresh coriander.
